[laughter] and so i called my staff and i said, guess what i am doing? but it was a powerful thing, because newark is one of 14 cities in america that has a food policy director and i really think ought -- all city should have. we have done a lot of work on trying to expand affordable healthy options. the more i talked to my food policy director, this is a great thing. we cannot but raise the level of compassion and understanding and this bill bad stereotypes about snap and families that are on snap, and focus them instead on the realities of

if you didn't grow the government or the economy at all why have we put ourself in that position? and so the fact is we're now, the federal reserve has increased its balance sheet. of in other words, it's created $2 trillion worth of funny money. they printed $2 trillion worth of money and, ultimately, the pain of that is going to fall on the middle class and the very poor in this country. and it's going the defeat what both parties say they want. and yet we don't have the courage today to make the tough choices even if it means we lose our seats to secure the future for this country. we put ourselves first instead of the country first. it is not hard. if -- any american citizen if they read "back in black," they can go to our web site and read it, there's a lot of common sense ways to save money in there. just this last week the air force announced, this is a great example. in the federal government this year we're going to spend $64 billion on i.t. projects. that's $64 billion. the gao says at least half of that will be wasted. in other words, it'll never get completed, it's nev

not to be angry at bill clinton over the monica lewinsky thing, but on one level you could say the economy's booming, we're at peace, you know? fantastic things are happening. and we're angry because a president received consensual favors from a young woman. well, here's your news flash, right? read the book. whereas in france, you know, the joke is they wouldn't elect a leader or who didn't have multiple mistresses. [laughter] i don't want a gelding in this race, right? i want a bull in this race kind of a thing. what we see is americans tend to have, i guess, a bit more of a prudish view towards sexual affairs than folks around the world. and at the end of the book, i think in the last chapter, i offer some comparison that this thing happens all around the world, but we in the united states tend to be a little more infatuated. is it because of our freedoms? is it because we don't have a royal family that we can, you know, be fascinated with? is it because of reality tv? is it because of declining standards? i don't know what it is. but, france has had a number of leaders with multiple mist
